Camben, NJ--Corporate spokesmen for the Campbell Soup Company of Camden confirmed that the advertising campaign featuring Donovan Mc Nabb and his mother was abruptly cancelled. This followed a highly acrimonious response from the Eagles quarterback following the incident at the Super Bowl where Mc Nabb apparently vomited in the waning minutes of the last quarter. In a very uncharacteristic style, Mc Nabb said it was the New England clam chowder that he had at halftime that he could not digest. What appeared to be vomit was, he said "the soup".
With too little time to bring the soup to proper temperature, Mc Nabb had to hurry to get back on the field. His mother is inconsolable as proper preparation has been a hall mark of her food handling for the Eagles players. She said that the team always did well on the road and that throwing up on the astro turf is not the same as "on the road".
Both she and Donovan were actively looking for another corporate sponsor and said that the recent stroke suffered by Teddy Bruschi was not the result of any hexes or occult intervention on their part. Bruschi denied eating any Campbell's New England clam chowder soup but did not rule out the mushroom soup, which has always been his favorite. He only eats manhattan clam chowder.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Allen Rosenberg--no relation to Alan Greenspan--is an ardent, long-time Eagles fan who sat through the 1948 championship--an Eagles win--n Chicago's snowy, ice-cold Shibe Park. A 50-year coaching veteran of rowing, and winner of world and Olympic gold medals, Allen was recently "remembered" by Pennsylvania Governer Ed Rendell for nailing 16 hookers one desperate Philadelphia weekend in 1958. "I was exhausted," he says. "But they were more exhausted." Rosenberg's full-length autobiography is scheduled for publication next Fall through Hyperion Press. In it, he details a unique life, placing special focus on that record-breaking weekend. "I was never quite the same after that," is one of many remarkable observations he shares.
